After they left, Li Mai also went to the courtyard and stood under a tree. She used her spiritual power to climb the tree and search for where Elder Yang's aura was.
The next moment, Li Mai's figure disappeared from the courtyard and appeared under a big tree on the hilltop.
Old Yang was sleeping on a tree branch when he saw her appear. He asked, "Girl, would you like to come up and sit on the branch to enjoy the view?"
Li Mai shook her head. "No need, Old Yang. Something has happened. I need to trouble you to help Huanhuan control the families in several courtyards and prevent them from leaving the village."
"Alright, I'll go find that girl." Old Yang replied and disappeared.
Li Mai looked around. It was a hilltop, not far from the village, but she couldn't see the valley where the village chief was. It must be separated by another hilltop. Seeing a large blue stone next to her, she simply walked over, sat on the stone, and looked at the scenery below and the scenery on the next hilltop.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind her, silently watching her.
Li Mai hadn't felt anything at first, but suddenly, she felt a heat source approaching from behind. She quickly turned around and saw a man in black standing not far behind her, quietly watching her.
She turned around and sat facing the person, also sizing him up.
In the village controlled by Elder Yang, there are only two possibilities for anyone who can still appear: either they possess spiritual power surpassing Elder Yang's, or they suddenly appeared from another dimension.
Based on the spiritual power she sensed from the other party, it shouldn't be as high as Elder Yang's level, so there's only one possibility: he's not from this time and space.
The other person was covered in a black robe, with a large hood on their head, so she couldn't tell from their hairstyle whether they were a modern person or an ancient person.
The more Li Mai looked at the man, the more familiar he seemed. She frowned slightly.
"Who are you? Where do you come from? What brings you here?" Li Mai asked calmly.
The man didn't speak, he just looked at her and didn't answer her questions.
"What is your relationship with my grandmother?" Li Mai suddenly asked.
"And what is your relationship with my grandfather?" Li Mai asked again.
Upon hearing her two questions, the other person suddenly smiled, walked towards her step by step, and finally sat down on the other side of the large rock, about three steps away from her.
Li Mai didn't sense any murderous intent from the other party, so she didn't deliberately avoid him.
As she looked at this person's face, a picture of an old face suddenly flashed through her mind, along with the image of that person protecting her and using a water trap to escape in the firelight.
This person's appearance is somewhat similar to that face, but upon closer inspection, it also seems to bear some resemblance to Grandma Li Mai from this era.
“My darling, you’re very smart. No wonder you were created with my genes.” After sitting down, the man looked into the distance in silence for a while before suddenly saying this.
"Huh?" Li Mai was taken aback.
"By now you should have guessed that you are a genetically modified human created by a research organization to suppress Luo Ying, right?" the other party asked softly.
Genetically modified humans?
Genetically modified humans?
Then it's still a cyborg!
“You’re wrong, it’s a past life.” Li Mai shook her head.
The other person chuckled, "Silly child, how could it be your past life? Don't you feel that you're very comfortable using this body? If you changed bodies, how could your space still follow you? That's a chip space from your previous body."
Upon hearing this, Li Mai suddenly remembered that if it were a soul transfer, how could the space possibly follow, since there were many things from the modern world inside?
Suddenly, Li Mai realized a possibility: after her death, Zhou Quan was reincarnated into this world, and she was also reborn, growing up again as a child in this world...
If that's the case, then Grandma is also a fake?
"What about my grandmother? Is she from this world?" Li Mai's eyes shifted several times as she thought things through, and she turned to ask the other person this question.
“Your grandma is your grandma, and she’s also my mother, baby. I’m your dad. Do you remember your dad?” the other person asked.
Li Mai shook her head. "No, it's just that when I saw you just now, a few images flashed through my mind. It was the image of my grandfather protecting me as I escaped from the fire. I think that was my grandfather. He looks somewhat like you."
Li Mai fell silent, finally understanding why her grandmother had arranged her marriage to Zhou Quan.
It turns out that I appeared in this world for Zhou Quan.
The other person seemed a little frustrated, sighed, and said, "Although you were created by humans, you are almost no different from normal humans. Our family adopted you because you are our child."
"But you were born because of a mission. Even if we selfishly wanted to keep you by our side, we couldn't. Those people are completely obsessed with power and strength."
"Later, we wanted to leave that research institution, but we couldn't escape their control at all. Your mother and I were killed by them. However, before I died, I guessed that they would make a move against us, so I left a way out for myself and your mother. After we died, our souls survived by borrowing the chip space, and then by chance, we were transferred to this world."
"Then I found a suitable body and was able to have the body I have now. Because of the implantation of the chip, the appearance of this body has slowly become the same as my former appearance."
“My name is now Gu Zhe, and I am a prince of the Southern You Kingdom. Your mother is still my wife, but she encountered an accident during her reincarnation. She lost her previous memories; she doesn’t remember you, nor does she remember the world she came from.” Gu Zhe finished speaking and sighed.
Li Mai's lips twitched involuntarily. A fracture? Hmm, what a good name!
However, Li Mai still felt that something was wrong!
“We now have two children, both older than you, one twenty-seven and the other twenty-one. They are normal children. The fact that you are pregnant now means that your child will be a normal human being after birth,” Gu Zhe said softly, looking at Li Mai.
Li Mai gave a soft "oh," her mind still processing his words. Could it be that some research institutions in the apocalypse had already reached such an advanced level?
The genetically modified human they researched can even conceive and have children with humans.
But with such powerful and advanced technology, how come they can't deal with those mutated beasts and mutated zombies? How can the apocalypse have continued for over seven hundred years without ending?
"What is the purpose of your visit?" Li Mai stopped thinking about it and decided to ask directly.
She didn't remember this person, and he already had a new child. It seemed he hadn't come to rekindle their father-daughter relationship.
So, he must have had a purpose in coming to find me.
